[EP-tech] Re: Summary page - available metadata

There's two main parts of the abstract page.
At the top, there is a citation for the item (containing the title, date, authors etc.), and below that on the page is a table of other bits of data.

For the first part, look at ...cfg/citations/eprints/summary.xml (mine includes <epc:print expr="$item.citation('default')" /> - which you should now understand to be ...cfg/citations/eprints/default.xml.
For the second part, look in  .../cfg/cfg.d/eprint_render.pl, at the $c->{summary_page_metadata}... 
You should generally be able to add the field name to this list and it will get included in the table of data.

I'm guessing you've discovered this, but just in case,
> ~/bin/generate_abstracts ARCHIVEID [eprintid]
 will regenerate the abstract for the eprintid specified (useful for testing a change before updating them all!)

Cheers,
john

Okay, that’s working great - extrapolating out from this, how would I then
tap into other data? For example, we’d like to output a list of editors
onto the abstract page if the EPrint is a book. I know how to do the
conditional check for the type, I can see how to iterate through a number
of objects, but I’m not sure how to retrieve those objects. Once we have
them, I then presume that the theory is the same of using a citation
template with relative fields to extract data from the database.
